Ivan is the son of Serge Chermayeff who with Erich Mendelsohn designed Bexhill’s iconic seafront building, and Ivan’s son, architect Sam Chermayeff and his partner Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge, have designed the exhibition. “Cut and Paste” is the first exhibition of Ivan Chermayeff’s work in the UK, focusing on the collages he made in his artistic practice but placing them in the context of his corporate brand identity work and poster and publication design.
Born in London in 1932, Ivan Chermayeff emigrated to the US during the war with his family, where he studied at Harvard University, the Institute of Design in Chicago and Yal University’s School of Art and Architecture.
